Shri Biliyar Govinda Bhat, also known as Govinda Master, was a revered figure in Kurkal, Kaup taluk, Udupi district, Karnataka. Born into a family that valued education and community service, Govinda Master dedicated his life to teaching and uplifting his community. His passion for education and compassionate nature made him a beloved teacher and mentor, inspiring countless students throughout his career. His ancestral home, Salmara House, became a symbol of the family's heritage and unity. To honour Govinda Master's legacy and preserve the ancestral home, his descendants established the Salmara Govinda Bhat Family Trust. The trust's first major project, the Krishnaveni Ashraya Dhama, Abode for seniors, and Ayurvedic Wellness Centre, reflects Govinda Master's values of service and care.
